^ Yes the cake is well worth trying - it says it's best on the 2nd day but I had it still warm
Is quite a flat cake and the orange is quite strong, almost bitter but I did like it and it's very easy to make so I would do this again.
Would be nice hot with ice cream I think too.0 -
Yesterday I made Blueberry/Blackberry/Gooseberry Crumble - fruit found lurking in freezer.
For dinner tonight we had HM Shepherd's Pie with roasted veggies.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

Yesterday used up some veg soup (from freezer); followed by Teriyaki chicken & noodles (using LO chicken from Saturday); jelly for dessert; so 3 courses but not much for each course.
Good to make use of LOs!
Tonight's dinner will be bean & sausage casserole from freezer.
OUT of freezer - veg soup (yesterday); bean & sausage casserole (today)
INTO freezer - nothing

Im doing really well using the freezer and cupboards as I dont want to spend any money due to a long awaited weekend away with my best friend.. I took a Pasta bake out yesterday and we had that with some garlic bread that was lurking about in the bottom..
Im off work for the next 2 weeks so need to clean all my cupboards out and revamp my food inventory etc.. I just LOVE all the forums and can happily spend the morning drinking tea and getting new ideas.
Will make a Shepherds Pie today and that will use up the mince and some veg.. Yum x
Have a great day folks x0/4500 -
Got some cooking bacon out of the freezer so I can make Egg/Bacon Pie tomorrow.
Managed to fit in 2 tubs Rhubarb Crumble. :eek:
Now I am thinking - why not make a double amount of SC pastry - do a second pie. There are a couple of chicken bits lurking in the depths of the freezer - somewhere. I will get Mr F to have a look in there for me. He can get out some JJ's Herby Cheese Bread at the same time.Decluttering Achieved - 2023 - 10,364 Decluttering - 2024 - 8,365 August - 0/45

Just making this cake, someone on here posted the recipe before though I can't remember who now
It was rosieanglaise:Troseanglaise wrote: »Welsh Poppy, how about this to use up yr semolina ? Looks nice! http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/orange_cake_57974
I use semolina when making pizza bases, about 10% of the total flour mix if I want a crispy base, and also sprinkle on the work surface before shaping, again for a crispy base. But that's about all I use it for:)'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

Having a bit of a money crisis as my work burnt down on Friday!
So I'm eating as much as I can out of my freezer and cupboards rather than going to the shops.
Using up 2 packs of stewing steak in the slow cooker, making a goulash. Will re freeze what we don't eat for more dinners in the coming weeks.
Also using up some rice and garlic bread.
I suspect I may be eating some odd combinations in the coming weeks:rotfl:The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0
